Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mobile computing has the potential to enable a large class of applications, such as smartphones, mobile internet, mobile games, social media, mobile multimedia, etc. During the last years, thanks to several new technologies, such as 5G or blockchain technology, the number of mobile applications have increased. However, the operation of mobile and wireless communication networks causes a greater level of energy consumption. There is a need to face the energy consumption issue to provide more sustainable applications and techniques. This is made possible if sustainable mobile computing platforms and applications could address at least some of the following challenges: the extension of battery life, power consumption, efficient resource management, and sustainable architectures.
Sustainable mobile networks and applications aim in the reduction of energy consumption and improving the performance and efficiency of the networks. Many network technologies, including cognitive radio networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, sensor networks, neural networks, routing strategies, detection of malicious attacks and secure routing algorithms have been applied to solve this issue. However, we are still lacking a clear understanding of sustainable mobile computing and techniques, as well as best practices, to design sustainable applications. The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, new techniques (such as the application of blockchain technology), and applications that address sustainability in mobile and wireless networks.
